Sally Durant Plummer said: "Here I was assuming they were leaning into the whole "second hand rose" nature of Lea's casting."

I’m sure they were, but that doesn’t make it good design work.

Surely I cannot be alone in thinking that giant rose photoshopped onto her head looks like a very silly rush job."

You're not, but in the movie, at least, Nick sends Fanny yellow flowers a couple of times. <shrug>

Looking outside today, it appears it is in fact, raining on her parade.

One third of Pakistan is under water."

It’s an opinion piece, a third from the bottom of their main digital page with the other op-eds. There is plenty of actual coverage of any number of the horrible things happening in the world.

Exactly! People these days will find any little thing to get offended or be in an uproar about.

Will you be there tonight, or atInto the Woodsto see their replacement cast?"

LOLZ.

"

Huh? I was just asking Catalano a question, and I wasn't joking in any way.

Sending you good vibes, Lea !!

LOL

Well, aren’t I the luckiest person in the world?! My partner’s sister had to give up a pair of tickets for Lea’s opening. I’ll be in the audience tonight!! Will be posting on here after!

Well, of course it’ll be seeing improved box office. It had middling to poor word of mouth and reviews, but the whole cast change saga suddenly made it the most talked about production since Broadway reopened. They couldn’t have devised better publicity if they tried.

It also needed someone that could do the score justice - LOL.

Having a competent leading lady will certainly help matters, but I stand by the fact that this production misdirected and is unbelievably cheap and chintzy from a design standpoint. The new marketing looks much better, though.

Perfect, but which Broadway diva would never allow a construction "seam" to bisect their face??"

That would be that LuPone woman.
